Docs/mining.md is detected as a Trojan Horse by my antivirus software #1961

I use Kaspersky antivirus software. The Docs/mining.md is detected as a Trojan Horse by HEUR:Trojan.Script.Miner.gen . When I want to check the raw file, it is also blocked by the Kaspersky browser extension. Please check that.

That is probably just some very badly implemented heuristic on the Kaspersky side. Not sure we can do anything about that, it's literally a text document! I'd file a "false positive" report with Kaspersky.

Yeah, that is an extra dumb match. Reporting to Kaspersky that it is a clear false positive is the only real option.
